This looks like a great training session around constructive engagement with councillors, specifically to do with climate action, but could be applied to any issue. The session is organised by @HopeFTFuture and is tailored to those based in Manchester.

Last night we heard from Chloe Jeffries at @ClimateEmergMcr about some of the great work they’ve been doing in Manchester. Their main priority right now is their campaign for a 7th Scrutiny Committee of Manchester City Council – dedicated to Climate Change. Please sign and share!
#Manchester Council makes big shiny #climate promises, fails to implement them.
To break the cycle, we need regular (monthly-ish) scrutiny committee meetings.
If you live, work or study in #Manchester Council's boundaries, pls sign & share the petition.
